I use amanda to create backups that are split to fit on a dvd, but so far
I have not been able to create the dvd.  It may be a permissions problem,
or it may be a k3b problem.  I have tried to make the backup by running
k3b as amanda, and also by running k3b as root.
I just use cdrecord:

Thanks for the link, Paul. I'm assuming that I should do this as user 'amanda', since she owns the files. Amanda is a member of group disk, and disk has write access to the /Backup directory.

Using

mkisofs -joliet -uid 0 -gid 0 -file-mode 444 -dir-mode 555 -output /Backup/mybackup.iso

I get 'mkisofs: Missing pathspec.'

What am I doing wrong?

You are missing the last parameter of the mkisofs command.  You need to
tell it *what* to put in /Backup/mybackup.iso

Which in the example in the link above is "." (easily missed...)

Paul.
